Crafting in POE2: Bases and Modifiers

Base types

The base types page lists all 1,700-plus bases. Filter by item class, or search by name, and sort on the column you're crafting for, whether that's a defence value on body armour or attack speed on a weapon. Each base shows its requirements, defences or damage, and implicit, so you can compare two candidates before you buy either.

Modifiers

Pick a base and the modifiers page lists everything it can roll, split into prefixes and suffixes and grouped by where the mod comes from: regular explicit rolls, essence-only mods, desecrated mods, and corruption outcomes. Each entry shows its tiers and the item level that unlocks them, which is the number that decides whether the base you're holding can hit the tier you want.

If the mod you need is essence-only, no amount of chaos spam gets you there, and the split tells you that before you spend anything.

From reference to recipe

A crafting recipe is the sequence of currency that takes a base to the item you want, with the cost of each step and what happens when one fails. Every recipe starts from a base picked here.
